WOLVERHAMPTON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA 

Amateur symphony orchestra meeting weekly in term time for rehearsals and giving three main concerts a year.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
